According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, Brandon Phillips is more willing to waive his no-trade clause this offseason that he has been in the past.

With only one year remaining on his deal with the Reds, the veteran second baseman appears to be more open to a move out of Cincinnati. With the Reds looking to create room for Jose Peraza and Dilson Herrera, there's a very realistic chance that Phillips gets moved at some point this winter. The 35-year-old slashed .291/.320/.416 with 11 homers, 64 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 2016. Nov 12 - 12:40 PM

Brandon Phillips left Tuesday night's game in St. Louis after suffering a left hand injury.

X-rays were negative, but even minor injuries can be season-enders at this point. Phillips was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and an RBI sac fly Tuesday before exiting. He's sitting on a .291/.320/.416 batting line in 141 games played. Sep 28 - 12:19 AM

Mesoraco needed season-ending surgery in May to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and then underwent a procedure on his troublesome hip in July. Reds general manager Dick Williams said the club is anticipating Mesoraco being 100 percent for the beginning of the 2017 season but noted that "it's important to prepare a contingency plan." Mesoraco has made just 18 starts behind the plate (and 22 starts total) over the last two years.
